Salamo 52

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Maskila nataon’ i Davida, fony tonga Doega Edomita ka nilaza tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Davida dia efa tonga ao an-tranon’ i Ahimeleka. Nahoana no mandoka tena amin’ ny haratsiana ianao, ry ilay mahery? Ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitra maharitra mandrakariva.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and saide to him, Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thy selfe in thy wickednesse, O man of power? the louing kindenesse of God indureth dayly.

2 Loza no heverin’ ny lelanao, tahaka ny hareza maranitra, ry mpanao fitaka.

Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.

3 Efa tia ny ratsy noho ny tsara ianao, ary ny lainga noho ny miteny ny marina. (Sela)

Thou doest loue euill more then good, and lies more then to speake the trueth. (Selah)

4 Ny teny mandripaka rehetra no tianao, ry lela mamitaka.

Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O deceitfull tongue!

5 Andriamanitra kosa hanimba anao mandrakizay; hisambotra anao sy hanongotra anao hiala ao an-day Izy, ary hamongotra anao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona. (Sela)

So shall God destroy thee for euer: he shall take thee and plucke thee out of thy tabernacle, and roote thee out of ye land of the liuing. (Selah)

6 Ny marina hijery, dia hatahotra ka hihomehy azy hoe:

The righteous also shall see it, and feare, and shall laugh at him, saying,

7 Indro, ny lehilahy izay tsy nanao an’ Andriamanitra ho heriny; fa natoky ny haben’ ny hareny ka nikikitra tamin’ ny faharatsiany.

Beholde the man that tooke not God for his strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.

8 Fa izaho dia tahaka ny hazo oliva maitso ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra. Matoky ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitra mandrakizay doria aho.

But I shall bee like a greene oliue tree in the house of God: for I trusted in the mercie of God for euer and euer.

9 Hidera Anao mandrakizay aho, fa efa nataonao izany; ary hiandry ny anaranao eo anatrehan’ ny olonao masìna aho, fa tsara izany.

I will alway praise thee, for that thou hast done this, and I will hope in thy Name, because it is good before thy Saints.
